-Miranda's POV-
"I talked to the DA's office today," My father continued, as we were all watching the news in the living room, finally something else on besides my face from my school pictures. "-they said you can go home, but if anything comes up and they need you. You have to come back." I smiled and nodded, finally I was going to get to go home after what seems like a month. The last few days have been torture in this house, I haven't been able to go any where outside the house. I've been kept in solitude since the moment I stepped through the front door just a few days ago. I think the only time I was allowed outside was to get into the car to go to the police station just downtown.
"Thank you." I said.
"No problem honey. I booked flights for you and your mother tomorrow night."
"So soon?"
"Yeah well you've been saying you need to get back to school."
I frowned, I wanted to go back to school but something was telling me I should stay in London. I smiled and stood up passing my way through Luke who was playing on his Nintendo. I found myself at the entrance door, right next to the door that goes down stairs into the home gym. I slowly opened the door and turned on the lights for the stairs.
I jaunted down stairs and turned on the lights for the rest of the gym and right in the middle was Harry's black leather punching bag. The first place where I had e real conversation with him, or some what of a conversation with him.
I imagined him standing there in the stance he had showed me while teaching me to fight. His forehead all sweaty with a bandanna wrapped around his forehead. Him in a black tank top and a pair of shorts, with his worn down sneakers that looked like they were ready to get a rip in the front. His muscles all tensed up, and bouncing in the same position. Every few seconds taking a good punch at the bag.
Seconds passed and I realized I was waiting for something that was never gonna happen, a fantasy really. I shut the lights off and walked back upstairs. There was a knock on the door as soon as I closed the door to the home gym. I quickly ran to the front door looking through the peep hole to see no one other then the ass hole himself...
Detective Bobby Horan. The detective who's been on my ass on this case for Harry. He really can't give me a break now can he? I was about to close the door on him when he put his foot right between the door so I couldn't close the door without crushing his foot, which was seeming like a really good option at this point.
"Morning Ms.Jenner-Olsen." He said with his thick Irish accent. How in the hell did he become a cop when he's not even from this country. Someone has to do something about this guy. If he pushed my buttons anymore I might commit a murder myself.
"Morning."
"So I hear you're going back to the states?"
"Mhmm."
"May I come in?"
"I don't know can you?"
"Miranda!" My mother shouted at me for being rude towards him.
"Sorry..." I mumbled under my breath. I stepped out of his way letting him through the door. My mother brought him to the living room where my father was watching the news still. He looked over at Detective Horan and smiled standing up. "Bobby!" Wait he knows him personally?
"Scott! Nice to see you again." I crossed my arms listening to them talk, as I leaned up against the wall.
"Miranda, honey. You know Bobby, don't cha?"
"Sure do, the detective on Harry's case. The one who was drilling my ass the other day down at the station."
"Oh so you're the detective my daughter seems so fond of." My father snickered, "So you must live up here now?"
"I do in fact actually, me and my boy just moved up here two months ago actually.
I wasn't enjoying a single moment of this. My father knows the son of a bitch and is putting him on a fucking pedestal. Fucking great, just great. I continued to just stand there, my father talking it up to "Bobby"
"Now I'm not here to talk personal here Scott." Bobby said after laughing at a joke my father had told him. "I'm here to talk about Miranda. Since she is going home tomorrow night. We need all full contact information, so we can get her back here as soon as we find Harry or anything important comes up."
"Right, I'm sure Lydia would be more then happy to give that all to you." My mother nodded and grabbed a piece of paper and pen writing down all my contact information including my cell phone number, which I hope as hell he doesn't call anytime soon.
My mother handed him the piece of paper and the front door opened up again as I heard another Irish accent ring through the house. "Dad?" he called out. I looked out to the mudroom to see an old familiar face, Niall Horan.
"Niall!" I screamed of happiness as I ran towards him tackling him with a hug. Niall is one of my good friends that I vacation with my dad with during the summer. It's usually just him and his brother Greg because his father is usually busy with his job being a dete- oh.
Fuck.
"Hey there Miranda." He giggled hugging me back tightly.
"So nice to see a familiar face." I smiled
"Same as well. Been a while."
"Indeed it has."
"Heard my father is working on your case?"
"Not my case, but a case for my- friend." I left out the rest of the information. I really didn't want to talk to him about what's been going on I've only been talking about it forever and a day. I walked into the living room with Niall following behind him.
"Niall boy, thought I told you to stay in the car."
"You did but your walkie-talkie has been asking for you since the moment you shut the door."
"Shoot. Alright Scott, it was nice seeing you but it looks like I have to go."
"Alright, we will have to catch up soon." I didn't want Niall to leave since he only just got here and it would be nice to be able to talk to someone bout anything but Harry and my kidnapping. "It was nice seeing you Niall." I smiled, hugging him again.
"You too, want to hang out tomorrow maybe?"
"Um I leaving tomorrow, but by the sounds of your father, sounds like I'll be home a little before summer begins."
"Just text me when you're back in town, have my number?"
I shook my head no and then we exchanged numbers. "Bye Niall."
"Bye."
Both the ass hole Detective Bobby and my closes-friends-who's-almost-like-a-brother Niall left slamming the door behind them. I thought back to the summers before where I had spent at least two weeks as my fathers lake house which is next to Niall's. It was usually just him and Greg up though because their father had always found an excuse not to come up. Their mother and him had gotten a divorce when I think Niall was eight because of all the excuses of him being in love with his job, and never being around.
I smiled knowing I had someone here for when I get back and I will defiantly be texting him back when I am back in town.
"Miranda, you should go and pack so you don't have to do it tomorrow." My mothers voice rang through my head like a broken record. I nodded and ran upstairs to my room grabbing my big black suitcase from under my bed with clothes that I still haven't worn yet. I grabbed all my stuff and just piled them into the suitcase not even folding them.
I finally grabbed the collection of Harry's CD's that were laying beside my stereo that I've been listening to non stop. I piled them up and there was a lot, at least 500 so I only got the ones I really like and then it came down to at least ten.
I smiled grabbing another CD off the pile next to my stereo and hitting play.
